ssss is an implementation of Shamir's secret sharing scheme for UNIX/Linux machines. It is free software, the code is licensed under the GNU GPL. ssss does both: the generation of shares for a known secret and the reconstruction of a secret using user provided shares. The software was written in 2006 by B. Poettering, it links against the GNU libgmp multiprecision library (version 4.1.4 works well) and requires the /dev/random entropy source.

Xinetd is a replacement for inetd, the internet services daemon. Xinetd is not just an inetd replacement. Anybody can use it to start servers that don't require privileged ports because xinetd does not require that the services in its configuration file be listed in /etc/services. Its configuration file has a different format than inetd's one and it understands different signals. However the signal-to-action assignment can be changed.

CFEngine 3 is a popular open source configuration management system. Its primary function is to provide automated configuration and maintenance of large-scale computer systems. The repository is intended to provide a stable base policy for installations and upgrades, and is used by CFEngine 3.6 and newer. The port installs the repository as examples which should be copied by the user to the masterfiles directory (usually /var/cfengine/masterfiles).

debhelper is a collection of programs that can be used in a debian/rules file to automate common tasks related to building binary debian packages. Programs are included to install various files into your package, compress files, fix file permissions, integrate your package with the debian menu system, etc. This will be of use only to debian developers or others who wish to build debian packages.

The fileschanged utility is a client to the FAM (File Alteration Monitor) server that is now available in some distributions. Here's how the fileschanged FAM client works: you give it some filenames on the command line and then it monitors those files for changes. When it discovers that a file has changed (or has been altered), it displays the filename on the standard-output.

GSTFS is a filesystem for on-demand transcoding of music files between different formats. It utilizes the gstreamer library for conversion so any formats supported by gstreamer should also be supported by gstfs. The filesystem's only requirement is that the gstreamer pipeline begin with a filesrc with the name "_source" and end with an fdsink with the name "_dest". The filesystem will automatically substitute the filename and fd number in these pipelines.

Ganglia provides a complete real-time monitoring and execution environment that is in use by hundreds of universities, private and government laboratories and commercial cluster implementors around the world. Whether you want to monitor hundreds of computers in real-time across a university campus or around the world, ganglia is for you. The ganglia web frontend provides access to the data collected by the monitoring core.

WikipediaFS is a mountable Linux virtual file system that allows to read and edit articles from Wikipedia (or any Mediawiki-based site) as if they were real files. It is thus possible to view and edit articles using your favourite text-editor. Text-editors tend to be more convenient than a simple browser form when it comes to editing large texts and they generally include useful features such as Mediawiki syntax highlighting and spell checking.
